Is that the SS? Did a quick estimate for the V6 1LE:

4x 275/40ZR18 Hankook RS4 $870

4x 18x9.5" Enkei RPF1 $1200 (just for sake of comparison to common 86 wheel, I will likely get Apex wheels)

I don't think that's an issue unless you dislike the aesthetics. Most people at the track, especially those that go regularly, have a dedicated set of wheels.

Hmm, will need to check if the SS and SS 1LE use the same brakes. Even if they do, I don't think I can afford to track an SS.

I filtered by V6 and manual and looked through the cheapest 150 listings. The closest dealer for $28k V6 1LE is 700 miles away. The depreciation is probably going to suck, can't see why normal people...

Thoughts on the Camaro V6 1LE?

Have you had the chance to drive one and compare to your 86, especially on the track? It's 700 pounds more, but the lap times are pretty respectable and it's built and warrantied for track use. They...

Went for a drive to try and reproduce it. Warmed up for 10 minutes and did a few full throttle pulls. Wasn't able to reproduce. Maybe some interior part got agitated in the cold.

Would it be worth it to replace clutch at 40k miles?

I'm having my transmission replaced as part of a warranty claim. The dealer offered to replace the clutch assembly with no labor cost for $900 + tax. Would it be worth it to have them change it?

I don't think I'm scrubbing any speed on the downhill portions, if that's what you mean by "too hot". I drive around in a circle below the limit and then add throttle to start the drift.
